Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max or XS Max. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

What do I like? no one complains about call quality!
Nice sound, not so good at pairing past a singular time you choose not to connect to a particular device.
Suppossed to place near device,,,and yes the first time is amazing and if you want to pair to that device always,,then works everytime flawless....if you want to change or deviate,,,between devices,,,I more often have to settings/bluetooth/ connect....so...I am not throwing them away or taking them back...but buttons on the wire,,,unreliable.

Is this the one that has the blue light filter? I believe it's called, Glass Elite VisionGuard+.

I’ve never seen blue, but no one but me can see the screen!

Hi, bought this for an old computer so I think I need a BT dongle but I also have good cobratype computer I wanna use ibut can't seem to figure out if it came with BT. Does anyone know if those types of computers come BT or an easy way to check? TY

Do you have bouetooth symbol anywhere on the computer you referenced? If so you maybe able to simply turn it on / off with that key plus an fn key.
No bluetooth symbol anywhere...check system properties for bluetooth.
The answer gets more complex from here...I once bought some cheap bluetooth dongles from ebay...they were garbage...

I currently watch YouTube videos on my big screen non smart but Ethernet tv ( came out right before Smart tv’s). I would love to pair my IpadAir and MacBook Pro to tv but my model by Sony doesn’t supper. But navigating using the Prime Video handheld

This question is old...maybe you already added a firestick, appletv+ or chromecast?

Only at Best BuyInstall your flat panel television easily with this Sanus TV wall mount. The ProSet adjustment feature keeps your television level and at the perfect height.
 

The instruction manual for my BLF228 states that when installing on wood studs, they must be a minimum of 16in apart. My studs are 13 inches apart will this impact installation?

If you do not have studs the two options at minimum.
1: use toggle bolts, works great.
2. Use a piece of 3/4 plywood fasten on the studs. Mount your Sanus to the plywood.
3. Off set with one side in the studs and one with toggle bolts.

CAN I CONNECT MY CDV-1000 LASER DISC PLAYER TO THIS RECEIVER

Best Buy sent this to me to answer.
I have no idea what type of connections/output are on the back of your LD.
However; you can see the back of this device on their website.

Mount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

overall width dimension is important because im mounting it with studs 35”apart

Option 1
Use a backer board.
Cut 3/4” plywood to fit to studs. Mount to plywood.

Option 2
Use wall anchors designed for sheetrock I use 3/16 spring loaded consistently and without issue. I use washers to keep the screw from going through the wall mount, a pair of needle nose to hold the washer and allow the screw to penetrate the anchor spring until enough to grab and secure to the wall. (Just tight)
